Also known as “Harvest Moon”

The full moon heralded the arrival of a traditional harvest festival celebrated in several Asian countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, China and Vietnam.

The “Micromoon”, is therefore, also known as the “Harvest Moon”.

According to Farmers’ Almanac, a periodical that provides calendars and full moon dates for North America, this rare occurrence of a “Micromoon” appearing on Friday the 13th will only happen again in August 2049.

The Harvest Moon is expected to appear full until early Sunday morning.
